Rangers boardroom twist would have big implications at Ibrox – Finance Expert
We’re delighted to welcome football finance expert Dr Daniel Plumley as our exclusive columnist. Each week he’ll be giving his views on the biggest talking points at Rangers...
Dan Plumley has insisted that the Easdale brothers regaining shares at Ibrox would have big implications on Rangers moving forward.
It comes after Alan Nixon of the Sun reported that the brothers were set to regain 20 million shares at the club after a court ruling was lifted this month.
The finance expert admitted that would give them a voice at the boardroom table if it was to be the case, with little information having followed since.
“It does sound significant,” he exclusively told Ibrox News.
“We have seen initial headlines on it, but it is harder to dig deeper with not a lot out there at the minute. You are talking about a high volume share and even though there is a very diverse share structure to Rangers and how they operate, that is still a substantial amount of shares that would give you a voice at the table.
“We have seen the links in the past and the rhetoric moving forward about it not really changing things, and nothing immediately in the offing, but it’s still 20million shares so it is significant. It will be interesting to see what happens next, and it is difficult to comment in exact detail.
“It will have implications on the club moving forward.”
Dave King has already shut down the narrative that he was in talks with the Easdale brothers in order to take significant control at Ibrox, so who knows what to believe?
Given the radio silence since the story, it is likely to be untrue, something that many will cross their fingers for.
In other Rangers news, Plumley has insisted that the club can argue they have missed out after a £900m+ deal was signed off elsewhere
